Mount Pleasant City Commission is closer to deciding what to do with one of the town's busiest roads, Main Street. The redesign to the street will have a large effect on Central Michigan University students, Mount Pleasant residents and local businesses. Allison Quast has unofficially become the voice of the cycling community and is hoping the Commission will make the safest decision for cyclists.

Photo: Rock the Bells 2009
Rock the Bells is one of the largest annual hip-hop tours and last summer I was able to attend the show at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Mich. However, I did not go just as a fan of the rappers that were performing, I had a photo pass and was taking pictures for Metro Times. The camera used was a 10 megapixel Kodak EasyShare M853, while these photos were taken with a simple point-and-shoot (DSLRs were not allowed to remain in the venue), I'm happy with the way they turned out.
Audio: Maria Leone
I enrolled in my first online journalism course last semester and one assignment was to create an audio story. It was something I had never done before and I definitely wasn't familiar with the program Audacity. For my project, I interviewed Maria Leone, an aspiring acoustic singer and junior at Central Michigan University. Maria usually performs at open mic nights in the Mount Pleasant area and I got her to speak on when she started singing and why she liked it so much.
